This leads to many engineering educators to choose lecture capture—streamed and/or recorded— as a way to serve distance education students. However, this approach fails to make use of the capabilities of quality online

) or whenthey are asked specifically to reflect on the materials they study and/or produce (e.g. journals,portfolios). This type of reflection-in-action resonates with Billy Koen’s definition of theengineering method as “the use of heuristics to cause the best change in a poorly understoodsituation within the available resources” 7. In other words, good engineers are those who practicereflection-in-action; engineering educators can help by emphasizing that much engineeringproblem solving involves dealing with “poorly understood situations” where reflection helpswith understanding of both the problem and the practitioner.V. How Can Reflection be Used for Assessment?A reflective component is often included in portfolio assessments. Most

This workintroduced the idea of “identity accomplishment confusion,” where culture compromises thelearning of fundamental skills.

However, design can also encompass a process to achieve adesirable end result. Process engineering is widely utilized in manufacturing and chemicalengineering.2,3 In many instances designing how to make something is more challenging thanthe original design of the component. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry attainingstability in synthesized molecules is an immense challenge.4 A more common example, inmanufacturing, is how to make a machine component economically, since in most cases severalprocesses are possible (machining, casting, etc.).
